Suppose a terrain piece or object is selected in the editor. Pressing a certain combination of keys (possibly Ctrl+F?) would change the currently selected style to the one that originally specified that item. This would not change the theming of the level.

If multiple items are selected, and more than one style is represented in that selection, then the action simply does nothing.

This will help users who are creating levels using mixed styles, particularly if those styles are not adjacent in the ordering. This would also help users to locate tilesets that they might want to work with in the future.

Consider a special talisman item that can be placed within a level. If a lemming collects this item, similarly to collecting a pickup or activating a button, then this satisfies a talisman criteria.
The criteria itself may be defined as "Collect [N] talismans".

The object itself would have no impact on gameplay, other than encouraging players to go out of their way to find a solution which sees the item being collected.

This opens up possibilities for level creators to encourage "thinking outside of the box" when it comes to interesting (but totally optional) solutions.

From a certain viewpoint, this is already technically possible. Consider one or more cloner powerups placed at certain points around a level. If the normal save requirement is, for instance, "Save 50/50", then a talisman may require "Save 53/50". However, such a solution may cause unintended backroutes due to the power of the cloner skill. Further, if a level already has all its skill slots used up, then this is infeasible.

A thought came to me one day while I was creating a level using the orig_fire tileset. Specifically, I had placed a vertical line of the flamethrower hazards, and while playtesting I thought "Wouldn't it look cool if those flamethrowers were staggered, instead of all firing at once?"

What I am suggesting is an ability to offset the initial frame of constantly animating objects, such as fire hazards, water hazards, traps with animated idle states, and exit animations.
This should have absolutely no impact in gameplay (i.e. clear physics); it would merely be a cosmetic change.

My idea will of course require changes to the level save format, requiring an extra (optional?) piece of information to specify the frame offset.
But I imagine that it should be easily backwards compatible: if an item does not specify this extra piece of info, then it is treated as having no offset - the item plays from frame 0 as usual.

I would love to hear feedback/ideas/criticisms.

Greetings to all you Ghosts and Ghoulies!

T'is the season for thrills and chills! To honour this month of terror, my brother and I have collaborated on yet another style set for NeoLemmix.

I am please to present Halloween Lemmings: quite possibly the spookiest style yet!

Haunted houses, ghostly apparitions, spooky skeletons, and of course - pumpkins galore!
This style comes with its own music and sound effects. See installation details below for more info.

Get the style here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/j1xirhgxbf8bgwy/All_Hallows_Eve.zip?dl=1

To accompany this style we have created a level pack, which can be found here:

Feedback, criticisms and comments are appreciated as always.

Let's see what ghastly levels you can think of!

Enjoy!

EDIT - Updated this style to be compatible with the new pickups!

Hi all!

First, some background. Like many of you, I grew up on the Commodore Amiga, and one game in particular (except for lemmings, of course) always stuck in my mind: Bill's Tomato Game.

This peculiarly named game was developed and published by Psygnosis, and released in 1992 for the Amiga and Atari ST. The gameplay revolved around transporting a tomato around a level using platforms and fans placed by the player. It is vaguely reminiscent of lemmings, I suppose?

No doubt some of you are familiar with this game. But for those who aren't, here's a link to a longplay:
https://youtu.be/XNyMyfptN14

Anyway, this game had some pretty decent music. Music that I believe would fit into lemmings with reasonable ease.

So, I've uploaded a bunch of .ogg files of each of the ingame background musics, for your perusal.

Get the tracks here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zppkb5ygpsccfig/BillsTomatoGameBGM.zip?dl=1

The tracks are full of midi goodness, although some tracks may be a little harsh on the ears.

It should be noted that, for some reason, the left/right music channels of each track are completely separate. That is, the left speaker and the right speaker actually play completely different parts of the track. This is completely intentional; the music was created like this. It still sounds good though, with left and right harmonizing nicely.

Each of the tracks are grouped into themes, with two tracks for each theme:

Death - Spooky and chilling. I'm thinking zombies?
Dino - Quite generic really, and probably very versatile. They vaguely remind me of the Oh No Lemmings swamp style.
Egypt - Because one can never have too many Egyptian style musics! Extremely funky as well.
Future - Upbeat and energetic. They fit their themes well, evoking a sense of weird techno stuff.
Jungle - Skulking through caves and forests, anyone?
Machine - Mechanical clankings and dangerous contraptions.
Orient - Heavily inspired by 'oriental' music. These tracks are a bit more niche, but may still suit some levels?
Psych - Somewhat generic and 'odd'. The second track is more energetic while the first is just kind of weird. Still good, though.
Toyland - Light hearted and a bit silly. These might work well with a Lemmings 2 circus level.
Water - Dripping water and whirring turbines. Need I say more?

Let me know what you think!

Hey everybody!

Following on from Chalkboard lemmings, my brother has created another style: Renaissance Lemmings.

A trip through the workshop of a renaissance inventor, the lemmings must traverse through a variety of clockwork traps and crumbling bookshelves.

To coincide with the release of this style, my brother and I have created an accompanying level pack.

Hi all. I'm a long time fan of the lemmings series and I'd like to present you with my first level pack!

Integral Lemmings

This is a pack for the latest version of NeoLemmix (V12.03.01). It consists of two ranks, each with ten levels.
The rank Epsilon levels use the classic skillset whereas the Delta levels use some of the new features and skills that NeoLemmix provides.
The two ranks are of roughly equal difficulty, and the levels in each pack get progressively harder.

Download Integral Lemmings V5 here!
